Buying Advice

London is a very large city with a wide choice of areas and property types, so searching for the right property can be very time consuming and wearing. Brian Lack & Co aims to reduce the effort required when searching for a property - be it for a home rather than just a house, for investment purposes only, or a combination of these factors. We do this in various ways;

FirstlyFirstly by using our expertise to help you to select particular areas which may be more favourable for price, which may have growth potential and which may have the amenities you may require such as schools, access to transport, roads and shops. In essence, we talk to you and with you to get a complete understanding of your needs and wishes. We then compile detailed particulars so that properties are described fully and accurately. Our new computer incorporates the latest digital technology which allows us to displdisplay colour photos of properties on screen, thus reducing legwork. Fees and Costs.

Our St Johns Wood office

We do not normally charge a prospective purchaser for our services as the fee is customarily paid by the vendor. However, should you prefer to instruct BL& Co to act for you in purchasing a property on your behalf, you would then be liable for our fees at anan agreed rate. We would also remind you that stamp duty is payable on the purchase of a property over a certain value and is calculated as a percentage of the full purchase price. Your local office will advise you of current rates and thresholds.

“Professional ways to present your property”

Within our website, Facebook and Youtube platforms we offer clients the ability to have their property presented within our presenter based news desk. Or as a featured property which displays property location, room layouts and the unique selling points that make the property special in the buyers eyes. This dynamic offering creates a 24/7 route to market and helps to qualify buyer interest and ultimately speed up the selling or renting process.

“Our aim is to make life easy for you, and this is how we guide you through the process”

The Process

The Valuation: we will give the most comprehensive valuation available – all our valuations are based on comparable evidence and our view of the local market at the time of the valuation. We advise on price, we don’t insist as our job is to work with you.

After The Valuation: in most cases you will receive a verbal valuation at the time of the appointment. However this may not be possible in all cases as, although experts in our areas, from time to time unique properties appear which need further investigation. Having said that you will receive a written copy of our valuation within 24 hours.

Instruction: our aim on Instruction is primarily to achieve the best offers that are available on the market place for your property. We do this by having a dedicated, knowledgeable and professional team in each of our offices. This, coupled with the correct market exposure, allows us to ensure it happens.

Sales Progression: one the main strengths of BL & CO is that we do not only agree a Sale, but we also progress the Sale which means we are constantly talking to surveyors, solicitors and any other bodies necessary to help progress the sale to a final successful conclusion. Our fall through rate is one of the lowest in the industry which means we get the job done.

Lettings: whilst passionate about Sales we attach equal importance to our Rental Division. We offer a full rental package dependent on your needs – from fully managing your property with a 24 hour, 365 day a year service, to just finding a tenant. I am proud that my team have very high standards and aim to go that extra mile.
